ABS向PETRONAS、MOL及SDARI最新液化二氧化碳船舶设计授予原则性认可证书

近日， PETRONAS、商船三井株式会社（MOL）与上海船舶研究设计院（SDARI）合作开发的用于装载和储存液化二氧化碳（LCO2）的最新船舶设计获得了ABS原则性认可（AIP）。

ABS根据最新规范，对96,000 m3 LCO2的浮式储卸装置（FSO）和87,000 m3  LCO2运输船进行了审核。

ABS南太平洋地区业务发展副总裁Arnab Ghosh表示：“安全和高效的LCO2运输与储存是碳价值链的发展基石，这在能源转型中发挥着关键作用。ABS很荣幸能够运用我们领先的LCO2运输船专业知识，支持行业采用这些重要的新资产，并坚定不移地关注安全问题。”

PETRONAS上游部门执行副总裁兼首席执行官Datuk Adif Zulkifli说道：“用于CO2运输的LCO2运输船在碳捕捉与封存（CCS）价值链中发挥着重要作用。获得这份AIP证书进一步加强了PETRONAS在提供去碳化解决方案方面的承诺，这与我们将马来西亚建设成为地区领先的CCS中心的愿景相契合。”

“SDARI很高兴能与PETRONAS和MOL在这个创新项目上共同合作。这些概念对LCO2的运输和运营至关重要，并将促进海事行业CCS的发展。这个AIP是一个新的开始，SDARI将继续为合作伙伴们提供更多的创新解决方案，致力于实现去碳化目标。”SDARI副院长周志勇提到。

MOL高级管理执行官Nobuo Shiotsu谈到：“MOL很高兴能和PETRONAS及SDARI共同完成LCO2运输船和FSO的各种设计。在亚太地区和大洋洲地区大规模开发CCS价值链是一个至关重要的步骤。基于这次新获得的AIP证书，MOL集团将进一步加快CO2运输业务的发展，为减少社会的整体温室气体排放作出贡献。”

ABS Approves Latest Liquified Carbon Dioxide Vessels for PETRONAS, MOL and SDARI 

New vessel designs to carry and store liquified carbon dioxide (LCO2) from PETRONAS, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI) have received approval in principle (AiP) from ABS. 

Designs for a 96,000m3 LCO2 floating storage and offloading (FSO) unit and an 87,000m3 LCO2 carrier were reviewed in accordance with the latest ABS Rules.

“Safe and efficient transport and storage of LCO2 is a developmental cornerstone of the carbon value chain, which has such a critical role to play in the energy transition. ABS is proud to be able to use our industry leading expertise in the development of LCO2 carriers to support adoption of these important new assets with an unwavering focus on safety,” said Arnab Ghosh, ABS Vice President, Regional Business Development. 

Datuk Adif Zulkifli, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Upstream PETRONAS, said, “LCO2 carriers for CO2 transportation play a key role in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain. The attainment of the AiPs further strengthens PETRONAS’ commitment to providing decarbonization solutions, aligned with our aspiration to establish Malaysia as a leading CCS hub in the region.”

“SDARI is delighted to join the innovative project with PETRONAS and MOL. The concepts will be essential to LCO2 transportation and operation and will boost CCS development in the maritime industry. The acquisition of the AiPs is the new start and SDARI will continuously provide more and more innovative solutions to partners for the ambitious decarbonization plan,” said Zhou Zhiyong, Vice President of SDARI.

“MOL is pleased with our achievement of the various designs of LCO2 carrier and FSO in cooperation with PETRONAS and SDARI. Developing it in large scale is an essential step for the CCS value chain within the Asia Pacific and Oceania region. Through the newly acquired AiP, the MOL Group will further accelerate this initiative on the CO2 transport business to contribute to reducing society's overall GHG emissions,” said Nobuo Shiotsu, Senior Managing Executive Officer of MOL.
